Chapter 196: Flickering

Ji Yun knew a cruel truth, and he decided to define this day as the darkest day in the entire film and television industry.

The executive producer of Embroidered Spring Knife 2 is Liu Che.

That's right, it was Liu Che who appeared as the general manager of market investment last time.

Seeing Liu Che's silly face in front of him with a smile, Ji Yun couldn't wait to imprint the size forty-four shoes on his face.

A thousand resentments turned into helplessness, and Ji Yun finally said weakly: "You changed careers again?" ”

"Harm! Isn't this more work, our company has few people, so I will come to the top class. Liu Che poured Ji Yun a cup of tea and said with a little flattery.

"Do you know what a producer does?"

"Then how can I not know, aren't you burying me?" Liu Che rolled his eyes, "Responsible for the daily operation and planning of the film, as well as the control of the director's artistic creation, the guidance of creative ideas, and the guidance of some core links in the project process, including large scenes, stunt applications, photography and film tones, etc." ”

"It's not easy to memorize such a long paragraph." Ji Yun sighed helplessly.

He wouldn't be so stupid as to really think that Liu Che understood the responsibilities of this position.

"Don't worry, I'm just showing my old man a name."

"Won't you put your name on the producer? What are you doing in this position of producer? ”

"Huh! That's not true. Liu Che waved his hand, "You can't bury the dream of an aspiring young man." ”

He clasped his hands, and a light called hope burst out in his eyes: "My greatest wish is to be a producer, you know that." ”

"How can you help with creative ideas, artistic creation, project progress, and photography?"

Liu Che spread his hands and said innocently: "So I didn't help." ”

"What the hell..."

Ji Yun took a deep breath and almost choked on his words.

"Don't worry, I don't do anything except take care of money, Yu Min is familiar with it, and Zhao Jian is behind me, just don't make trouble."

Ji Yun raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought about it, "This is what Wen Dong taught you?" ”

Liu Che took a sip of tea, "He said something, I think what he said is right, I can't just leave my job and don't do anything." ”

"How much is the investment in this play?" Ji Yun didn't have the heart to argue with him.

"35 million, more refund and less compensation."

Ji Yun instantly gave him a thumbs up, and it was the first time he heard that film investment could be refunded more and made up for less.

"Don't worry, my old man has arranged a professional for me, and the water is within the acceptable range."

Yes, since everyone else cares about it, he doesn't have the heart to help others settle this bad debt.

"Your thoughts are also bursting for a while, maybe the next time I see you, you will appear as an actor."

"I'm definitely not an actor, and my image is not good."

Ji Yun glanced at his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Liu Che to be quite self-aware.

In the actor's industry, he is either handsome or ugly, and Liu Che belongs to the kind of public face that can't be found in the crowd.

"Although I am distinctive, my appearance is not distinctive."

Indeed, an actor's image and characteristics can always bring some benefits to his play.

Many directors also select actors based on their faces.

For example, Ji Yun, in the past two years, he has been asked to play the villain.

Except for a few directors who use their birthdays to select actors, most directors still like to choose actors with suitable images or some specialties.

But actors who have just debuted generally have no opportunity to show, after all, there are tens of thousands of actors who enter the industry every year, and the director really doesn't have the heart to pay attention to which actor has what unique skills.

So a face becomes the best business card.

is like Wang Zhi, she herself has a background in martial arts, and when she debuted in her previous life, she still played delicate female roles.

Don't talk about her, even Wu Yue, who is at the level of martial arts, has to film "Seven Fairies of Joy".

"That's because the homogenization of current TV dramas is too serious, and martial arts dramas are staring at Jin Lao's filming, and it is not too fishy to shoot ten or eight times, which will make these professional talents dusty."

After Ji Yun's thoughts were expressed, Liu Che immediately sneered.

"Jin Lao's book, that's IP."

IP is not something that can be cultivated in three or two years, just like a big IP like Ghost Blowing Lamp, which appeared in 06 and generated a large number of fans, but it took eight years to move to the big screen.

Jin Lao's works can be called an evergreen-like existence, and how many directors have been fed.

As soon as he mentioned IP, Ji Yun glanced at Liu Che, who was showing off his martial arts, and a bunch of bad water came out of his stomach.

He really didn't want to fool the fool, but no wonder Liu Che was always in a hurry to deliver food.

Ji Yun was afraid that he wouldn't take the bait, so he asked a little uneasily: "You know what IP is, right?" ”

"Yes, the Internet Interconnection Protocol."

"Good!" Ji Yun applauded, I don't have to worry about your IQ and don't understand you.

"How about we say we should also create an IP?"

Liu Che's eyes widened, "Are we going to change careers?" ”

"Our IP means intellectual property, simply put, it is to buy the copyright of someone else's literary work, and we will adapt it into a TV series."

Liu Che was a little moved, and hesitated: "This, is there a problem?" ”

"There must be that!"

Ji Yunshun picked up the marker pen and wrote and drew on the small blackboard dedicated to the scene, "Mainland movies and TV series basically want to develop in the long run, just like our embroidered spring knife, I am ready to make it an IP." ”

"Oh!" Liu Che nodded as if he didn't understand.

"Of course,The conditions are not so harsh.,As long as there are some good books.,The times and the late Ming Dynasty can match.,It's not impossible to hang the name of the embroidered spring knife directly.。 But now the audience of embroidered spring knife is still too small, and it has not become a national IP, so we need to turn our attention to those IPs that have already been read. ”

"What about the prospects?"

"Let me tell you this, in the future entertainment industry, one is the era of IP. I think that these works already have a part of the audience, which proves their own vitality, if we adapt them, the starting point will be much higher than other dramas. ”

Ji Yun continued to bewitch: "Think about it, if Warcraft is adapted into a movie, how many players will have to be attracted to the cinema to contribute to the box office." ”

Liu Che's eyes widened, and his eyes showed a look of longing.

"Alas!" Ji Yun sighed, "If we can replace 20% of the copyright of popular works with existing resources, the volume of our company will be directly doubled, but unfortunately it can't be exchanged." ”

"Why?"

Liu Che was anxious, the majestic commercial and entertainment empire in his mind had been built layer by layer, and he was about to go public, and he was promoted from general manager to general manager, but Ji Yun's words suddenly knocked him back to his original shape.

"No money!"

"I'm coming!" Liu Che slapped his thigh.

"It's... Okay? ”

Ji Yun put down the marker pen and said with a smile.
